Don't want to rush you guys, but any idea when the sampler will be up? I'm so anxious to hear it. And Rock Band? Seriously?! I'm not even a huge Rock Band fan, but I think I'll be picking that up!

27 "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Also, I think the shorter track times will be a nice breather from the epics of the last few epic-filled albums. Bring on November (and that pre-order date)!

I agree. Although I love the epics you guys write, it seems like they're "less" epic if lots and lots are written (they don't feel as special). I know some of my favorite Yes songs are their shorter ones (by short I mean around 6 minutes). Anyway, thanks for writing awesome music, guys!

A VERY neat song - I can't wait to see the treatment you guys gave it!

If the cover changes the song in any way similar way to how you changed Longer and SSOTS then I REALLY have something to look forward to! I'm a huge Yes fan, but your cover os SSOTS is so much better (fits the mood of the song better) in my opinion, and Longer hands-down is better.

You beat me to the punch. If they are careful how they open the box, kitty could survive... On the other hand, if they don't open the box, kitty is both alive and dead.

Clearly the most anticipated, if unhyped, lyrics in a blue moon.

After looking up Schrodinger's Cat I can honestly say that I am thoroughly confused
